Did Ukraine invade Russia? Was Ukraine a threat to Russia in any way?

Don't believe Kremlin propaganda, if there's one thing you can trust about Russian diplomats it's that they lie, even when they know that you know they're lying. It's been well known for decades. It's official doctrine and is called maskirovka.

What did the Russians claim? Do you even know? Why are you asking me these questions?

So what do you mean by "consider both sides of the situation"? Russia invaded Ukraine, what's the other side of that situation?

I think you're capable of figuring this out.

I would prefer if you spoke clearly instead of using insinuation and false equivalence. "The people on here absolutely will not, for any reason, consider both sides of the situation". So why not in your own words describe the side of the situation you feel is underrepresented here?

Did Ukraine use Nazis to ethnically cleanse Russian speakers in regions which wanted independence? According to all Western media before a year ago: yes.

No. Literally none of that happened. That's entirely made up by the Russian government to gin up support for their imperialism.
